It's not just about the novel

Travel photo update

My last blog post mentioned traveling to Kauai and New Mexico, but I never posted any details or photos. The details are getting a little hazy, but in the interests of continuity, here are a few photos.

Kauai

I do recall spending a lot of time at beaches (especially at sunrise) and shopping the sunshine markets, and drinking coffee.

1st morning – Wailua Beach

Java Kai, Kapa’a

Orchid, National Tropical Botanical Garden

Small Town Coffee, Kapa’a

Wailua River State Park

New Mexico

Flew in and out of ABQ with a friend and met up with a new friend from the New Orleans trip but we spent most of our time in and around Santa Fe. I still feel bowled over by small towns like Madrid (MAD-rid) and Cerillos, the Sanctuary at Chimayo, Taos Pueblo, and the vibrancy and inclusiveness of Santa Fe. And oh, the cottonwoods!
